A Taste of the Prada Transformer

A first photo of the Prada Transformer getting off the ground.A dash of fashion and a splash of art with an architectural twist? It must be something Miuccia Prada is cooking up. And indeed, it is, in the form of the Prada Transformer, a tetrahedron-shaped pavilion that can be rolled (by a crane) on its multiple sides to house varying fashion, film, and art functions. Located in the front yard of the Gyeonghui Palace in Seoul, Korea, the steel structure, which was designed by Rem Koolhaas/OMA, will open on April 25 with the traveling exhibition “Waist Down: Skirts by Miuccia Prada.” Other Transformer events are planned for June, July, and October. Sounds like another recipe for Prada success. Stop by while it’s haute. [Prada Transformer]
